Put up with zip ties so as to not damage the tree. I get the joke but clearly some park users missed the point. Too bad admin threw the worker who put up the sign under the bus.

Yea. One sign, attached by zip ties, is not the same as dozens of signs stapled or nailed in.

Islington Council said the poster in Highbury Fields, north London, had been put up "in error" by a ~~junior worker~~ troll.

God forbid that residents should communicate with each other in common areas. Why can't the jobsworths live in splendid isolation from normal people somewhere else, like the bottom of the sea?

The council has ordered a replacement sign, to read "this tree intentionally left blank."

"There was lots of grumpy huffiness and indignation about our taxes being used for this."

Oh yes, a printed paper, a protective sheet, and a couple zip ties. What a monstrous waste of resources. Think of what could have been accomplished with that 79p!

Probably the same guy that writes on your side of the line, on the back of a check, telling you not to write on his side of the line.

If attaching signs to trees is criminalized, only criminals will attach signs to trees.

Many parks have a chain link fence on part of them. Will that work?

The grassy medians in my city have a little sign on each one saying "POST NO SIGNS".

We do a lot of government specification documents at my work, and have to do the " his page intentionally left blank" thing a lot. One of my friends always insisted on writing "this page intentionally left blank except for this sentence."

Removed? As in moved more than once?

He said: "A lot of people have been putting signs up on the trees about lost cats and so on with drawing pins - it really annoys me.

"I walked up to it to rip it down, only to find it was telling people not to attach anything to trees!"

So this guy has been ripping down the signs of people trying to find their lost cats? What a dick...
